Talent Pipeline Team
NEW! BeTheFutureBeU Website is LIVE! Check it out by clicking here or find the link below!
The Talent Pipeline Team was formed cooperatively by Polk Vision in partnership with the Central Florida Development Council and is focused on filling the gap of high skill, high wage jobs necessary to meet Polk County's current and emerging industry workforce needs.
The Polk County economy requires a pipeline of qualified workers to meet the demands of local employers. This pipeline is highly dependent upon high school graduation, post-secondary enrollment, and college completion rates.
The plan is to increase educational attainment - substantially altering local conditions, improving quality of life and serving as an economic catalyst for increased productivity.
Goals for the Team include increasing the number of students who graduate high school with a diploma and a direct pathway to a career or post-secondary education. This will provide a more robust pipeline of talent and skills and reduce the existing gap of employable individuals in particular jobs and sectors. Outcomes are measured by the number of high school graduates who then enter college or technical school, or directly enter the skilled workforce, or elect to enter the military.
The Florida College Access Network (FCAN) is Florida 's first collaborative network committed to ensuring all Floridians have the opportunity to achieve an education beyond high school and prosper in Florida's dynamic economy. Their mission is to create and sustain a statewide network of communities to increase college and career preparation, access, and completion for all Florida students. They have established a Florida Goal 2025: For 60% of working-age Floridians to hold a high-quality postsecondary degree or credential by the year 2025.
Polk Vision joined the statewide network as the representative organization serving Polk County recognizing that FCAN's guiding values align with the work of our Education Teams:
- College is postsecondary education. FCAN uses the term "college" to refer to the attainment of high-quality postsecondary credentials beyond high school, including technical certificates and academic degrees.
- College readiness is career readiness. All Florida students deserve to receive a high-quality PreK-12 education, which prepares them academically for success in college or a career.
- College is for everyone. All Florida students deserve the opportunity to pursue a high-quality postsecondary education that prepares them to effectively participate in the 21st-century knowledge-based global economy.
- College is a public good. Postsecondary educational opportunity and attainment are critical to a just and equitable society, strong democracy, robust economy, and healthy communities.

Deposit Guarantee Schemes - guide12 July 2010
by eub2 -- last modified 12 July 2010
The European Commission has proposed changes to existing European rules to further improve protection for bank account holders and retail investors. Since 1994, Directive (94/19/EC) ensures that all EU Member States have in place a safety net for bank account holders. If a bank is closed down, national Deposit Guarantee Schemes are to reimburse account holders of the bank up to a certain coverage level.
1) What is a Deposit Guarantee Scheme?
A Deposit Guarantee Scheme acts as a safety net for bank account holders in case of bank failure. If a bank is closed down, the scheme is to reimburse account holders of the bank up to a certain coverage level. A 1994 Directive ensures that all EU Member States have Deposit Guarantee Schemes in place.
2) Why is the revision of the Directive on Deposit Guarantee Schemes necessary?
The Directive on Deposit Guarantee Schemes has not been changed substantially for about 16 years although financial markets have significantly changed since then.
The 1994 Directive introduced minimum harmonisation for Deposit Guarantee Schemes; this meant that there were only a few basic requirements for Member states to follow up. As a result, Deposit Guarantee Schemes between countries vary significantly on the level of coverage, the scope of covered depositors and products and the payout delay. Also, the financing of schemes has been left entirely to Member States. This has turned out to be disruptive for financial stability and the proper functioning of the Internal Market. For example, when the crisis deteriorated, many depositors shifted money in the UK from British banks to branches of Irish banks in the UK, since Ireland had unilaterally introduced unlimited deposit guarantees. This led to a severe and abrupt draining of liquidity from the British banks, making them very vulnerable.
Therefore, the Commission aims at harmonising and simplifying the Directive in order to confirm the required level of deposit protection, reimburse account holders more quickly and ensure schemes are properly funded. These new funding requirements will improve the confidence of savers and ensure long-term financial stability.
3) What is the current level of deposit protection in the EU? How is this going to change in the future?
When the financial crisis hit in autumn 2008, Member States decided that the level of deposit protection should be gradually but quickly increased in the EU. A Directive adopted in March 2009 required coverage to be increased from a minimum of € 20 000 to at least € 50 000 by June 2010 and to a uniform level of € 100 000 by the end of 2010. Today's proposal – following an impact assessment on the move to € 100 000 – confirm the € 100 000 figure.
On the basis of a coverage of € 100 000, 95% of eligible accounts will be fully covered, 7% more than before the crisis.
4) Which deposits and depositors will be protected?
Deposits are covered per depositor per bank. This means that the limit of € 100 000 applies to all aggregated accounts of one account holder at the same bank. So this will include his or her current account, savings account and other accounts he or she might have in any one bank.
Deposit Guarantee Schemes will protect all deposits held by individuals and small, medium-sized and large businesses. However, deposits of financial institutions and public authorities will not be covered. The former do not need protection since they are professional market actors and the latter would have easy access to other sources of financing.
Deposits in non-EU currencies will also be covered, which is important for small and medium-sized businesses acting globally. Some more complex products similar to bonds will not be covered. Structured products whose principal is not repayable in full will not be protected (e.g. products whose value is dependent on a share price index).
This simplification and harmonisation will contribute to more transparency for savers and to quicker reimbursement in the event of a bank failure.
5) How quickly will bank account holders get their money back after a bank failure?
Currently, account holders must be paid within three months after a bank failure. By the end of 2010, this delay has to be reduced to between four and six weeks. Today's proposal shortens the pay out delay to one week. This is important as account holders can face important financial difficulties within a few days – for example when they must pay bills.
6) Is a 7 day payout of deposits feasible?
Yes. This already happens in the United States and will happen soon in the UK.
To make this 7 day deadline work, managers of Deposit Guarantee Schemes will be informed at an early stage by supervisory authorities if a bank failure looks likely. Banks will be required to mark eligible deposits in their books and to maintain up-to-date records. If a bank fails, no application from bank account holders will be needed; the scheme will pay out automatically.
7) Will Deposit Guarantee Schemes have enough funds to pay out in case banks fail?
There have been shortcomings in some countries in the past. It is not feasible or necessary to provide schemes with an amount of money equivalent to all deposits. But banks will have to pay on a regular basis to the schemes, in advance, so a pot of money can be built up, and not only after a bank failure. Such 'ex-ante funds' will make up 75% of the overall funds in DGS.
If it becomes necessary, banks will have to pay additional contributions, which will contribute a further 25% of the target funds. If this is still insufficient, Deposit Guarantee Schemes could borrow from each other ("mutual borrowing facility") up to a certain limit (again 25% of target funds) or use additional funding sources such as borrowing on the financial market, e.g. by issuing bonds.
The new financing requirements will ensure that each scheme has enough funds in place to deal with a medium-size bank failure. This level is comparable to the existing well-financed schemes in the EU. These levels of funding will have to be achieved in all Member States by 2020.
Banks having a riskier business model than others will pay higher contributions to Deposit Guarantee Schemes - up to about 3 times more.
8) Will the improved funding of Deposit Guarantee Schemes make taxpayers' involvement and bank resolution funds obsolete?
Deposit Guarantee Schemes are part of the measures being taken to create a stronger crisis prevention and crisis management system so that taxpayers are no longer the first to pay out. Soundly financed Deposit Guarantee Schemes will mean that in case of bank failure, funds are there to pay out account holders without needing to have recourse to taxpayers. Furthermore, a scheme's funds can be used for certain resolution purposes - those that involve the transfer of deposits to another bank and are therefore equivalent to a payout.
Bank resolution funds, as the Commission's Communication of 26th May advocated (IP/10/610), serve a different purpose to Deposit Guarantee Schemes. The latter ensures that savers will be reimbursed up to the coverage level whilst resolution funds ensure that the bank can be wound up and cover different costs (paying for continuity of certain key services, covering administrative costs, fees, etc.), for the benefit of all creditors of a bank and not only to the benefit of insured depositors.
Half of the target size of DGS funds can also be used for early intervention measures, i.e. measures aimed at helping a bank when it faces difficulties and avoiding it needs to be wound up, for example temporary liquidity support. The table below illustrates how the funds of Deposit Guarantee Schemes could be used for early intervention measures. It should be noted though that the necessary funds always remains ring-fenced for paying out depositors.
9) Should we have a pan-European Deposit Guarantee Scheme?
A single pan-European scheme would have two main advantages:
* First, the impact assessment estimates that € 40 million administrative costs per year could be saved.
* Second, it could better deal with bank failures. The impact of a single bank failure on a large scheme is lower than on a scheme only covering the banking sector of one Member State.
However, there are complicated legal issues which would need to be examined. The idea of a pan-EU Deposit Guarantee Scheme remains a potential longer-term project. A more detailed report examining the options will be presented by 2014.
Under the new supervisory structure, the European Banking Authority will facilitate the functioning of Deposit Guarantee Schemes. The authority will be involved in stress tests and peer reviews of schemes, help settle any disagreements (for example in a cross-border case when two schemes have to coordinate their actions) and will ensure the consistent determination of contributions based on the risk of each bank.
10) Why set a maximum level for deposits protected? Why not leave Member States choose their own levels?
Coverage can remain unlimited if it is linked to real estate transactions (for example selling your house) or to specific life events such as marriage and divorce. So, if you sell your house, the money from the sale is transferred to your account, and the bank fails the next day, Member States can ensure that you are covered for more than € 100 000. In this scenario, depositors enjoy such coverage for up to 12 months after such an event if their Member State opts for such regime.
But an unlimited higher coverage in general would jeopardise financial stability. When the crisis deteriorated, account holders shifted deposits to banks in Member States whose coverage was higher. This led to banks being stripped of liquidity in times of stress and made the crisis worse as it led to a near-liquidity crunch. Moreover, one scheme offering general unlimited coverage needed state aid because of the demands made on it.
11) What are the benefits for consumers and business under the new rules?
Consumers will benefit from the Commission's proposal: interest will now be taken into account when reimbursing deposits, credits and instalments can no longer be deducted from the amount to be reimbursed and savers at branches of banks in other Member States will not be referred to a scheme in a country they don't live in. Depositors will be informed about the coverage on their statement of account.
Businesses will also benefit. First, as explained above, the new proposal will extend coverage to all currencies, including, for example, US dollars, Swiss francs and yen, which is beneficial for business operating globally. Second, all businesses, whatever their size, will be now covered under the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. This is new as until now, some EU Member States exempted medium-sized and large enterprises from the existing rules on Deposit Guarantee Schemes.
12) How does the proposal cater for the needs of Mutual Guarantee Schemes? Will their stabilising function not be reduced?
Mutual Guarantee Schemes are schemes where banks support each other so they do not fail. By doing so, they contribute to financial stability in some Member States. On the contrary, Deposit Guarantee Schemes pay if a bank fails.
The new proposals do not ask Mutual Guarantees Schemes to close down. On the contrary, the new proposal acknowledges the stabilising function of Mutual Guarantee Schemes and offers a lot of flexibility to them.
Nevertheless, Mutual Guarantee Schemes are intended in the first place to save a bank as such and not the bank account holders. The Commission believes that it is important that all banks participate in a Deposit Guarantee Scheme so as to give bank account holders the same level of protection - no matter where they are based in Europe. This would be an improvement for bank account holders, as under the current system account holders cannot make a claim if a Mutual Guarantee Scheme fails.
Under the Commission's new proposal, Mutual Guarantee Schemes can continue to exist. However, participating banks would be required to participate in a Deposit Guarantee Scheme or to establish a separate deposit scheme for themselves. Their lower risk factor can be taken into account when determining contributions.
13) More burdensome rules on banks – will these proposals not choke the recovery?
The crisis has made clear that banks must take more responsibility and measures to strengthen financial stability are essential.
But the Commission is also very aware of the cumulative effects of new rules on banks which is why each proposal is accompanied by in-depth impact assessments.
The calibration of measures is essential which is why banks will have 10 years to reach the target funding levels set out in the proposal.
14) Will these new rules not lead to higher banking fees for clients?
This is unlikely. Since the market on financial products is quite competitive, banks are unlikely to transmit their costs completely to their customers. But even if they did so, it would not exceed a 0.1% reduction in interest rates on saving accounts or an increase of bank fees on current accounts by about € 7-12 per account per year.
15) How will the mutual borrowing facility work?
This is illustrated by the graph below. The amount of funds being lent is equal to the ex-post funds at the scheme borrowing from the others. The borrowing scheme has to pay back to the lending schemes within 5 years (see also question 7).
16) When will all the changes come into effect?
Due by
General implementation deadline
Simplification and harmonisation of scope and eligibility
One-week payout delay
Report on pan-EU schemes
Reaching the target funding level
Mutual borrowing facility functioning

Tigers Snap Streak With 4-1 Win at Belmont
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State broke a 12-game losing streak in the opening game of their Ohio Valley Conference series at cross-town rival, Belmont. The Tigers earned a 4-1 victory to improve to 17-37, 5-19 in conference play. The loss extended the Bruins losing streak to 10 games, as they fall to 12-35, 6-18 in the OVC.
TSU tallied 11 hits on the day, while the pitching duo of Olivia Gamache and Shea Morris held Belmont to three hits.
For the Tigers, Kiarra Freeman, Lindsey Burgess, Kate Morris and Rebekka Gross all finished the game 2-for-4. Courtney Gearlds, Jayna Hanawahine and Ashley Haynes all added a hit a piece.
Freeman reached, and advanced to second, on an error with one out in the third to give TSU their first scoring opportunity. Two batters later, Kate Morris added to her team high RBI count with a single through the right side of the infield, plating Freeman to give the Tigers an early 1-0 lead.
The Tigers added to their advantage in the fifth with three runs off three hits. Burgess picked up her ninth double of the season with a shot to right center, chasing Gearlds home from second and Freeman from first. On the play, Burgess took advantage of a bobbled relay throw and took third base.
Kate Morris followed with a ground out to third, allowing Burgess to score to take a 4-0 lead. The RBI for Morris was her second of the game, 25th of the season.
Gamache worked the first two innings facing the minimum, six, batters. Shea Morris worked two innings, surrendering two hits and a walk, while fanning two. The time worked gave Morris the win, as she improved to 10-13 on the season.
Gamache returned in the fifth inning and was tagged for the lone run the Bruins would score. BU used two errors and a passed ball to register their unearned run. Gamache tossed the final three innings, recording her first save of the season, second of her career.
On the evening, Gamache allowed one hit, hit two batters and walked two. The senior hurler struck out four batters.
The two teams will conclude the series with a double header at Rose Park on Sunday. Game time for the first contest is set for 2:00pm. The twin bill can be seen on ovcdigitalnetwork.com.

I haven't been able to get the statistic out of my mind: 22 veterans a day commit suicide in the United States. How can such a number not rattle us all? How would we respond if 22 teachers a day were committing suicide? Or doctors? Or police officers?
I think we would want answers. We would talk about this daily in our communities. We would seek action. Do we? Are we?
At this rate, every four and a half months, veteran suicides exceed the death toll from 9/11, the event that triggered our two most recent wars. What will it take to get the same leave-no-stone-unturned, spare-no-expense commitment from our government to address this tragedy?
It's important to clarify that the numbers on military suicides are not easy to interpret. With PTSD so much in the news due to the recent shootings, it's easy to assume that most of these cases are those recently traumatized by their service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yet according to the Department of Veterans Affairs (PDF), 69% of veterans who have committed suicide are over 50, and have presumably been out of the military for some time. According to the LA Times, "Many older veterans are killing themselves for the same reasons that other civilians in the same age group kill themselves: depression and other mental health problems coupled with difficult life circumstances."
Nevertheless, other studies estimate that among younger veterans and active duty personnel (the other 31% in that VA study), the suicide rate is twice that of the civilian population. While it's true that studies on this issue have many limitations, one thing they all agree upon is the high likelihood that suicide among young veterans and active personnel is underreported.
In addition, many young veteran fatalities that would not be included in this statistic involve those who survive combat only to perish through alcoholism, drug abuse and other self-destructive behavior. Between 2006 and 2011, young veterans in California "were twice as likely to be a victim of a fatal motor vehicle crash and a quarter more likely to suffer other deadly accidents," a pattern also seen in a 1987 study of veterans who had served in Vietnam and again in the mid-1990s among Gulf War veterans (LATimes).
Whatever the age of these veterans, however recent or distant their service, these numbers are alarming. No one disputes that our nation has a serious problem. "An epidemic," Senator John Walsh has called it.
So why do we tolerate this problem? My guess is, its invisibility. Most of us don't see soldiers every day, like we see teachers, doctors, policemen; soldiers are out, isolated elsewhere, doing what they do. Deployed to faraway lands or secluded on bases, behind well-guarded fences. As veterans' advocate Jeff Hensley explains in "The High Cost of Doing Nothing," these victims "were men and women who stood watch while our nation went about its business, blissfully unaware of their sacrifice."
If soldiers are invisible, their families are even more so. Beyond the drama of "Army Wives" is a world we civilians have little genuine understanding of. In large part, we have no understanding of this world and its suffering because it is so taboo for them to talk about it.
In my class Women, War and Terror, we discuss Carol Cohn's theories about "the ways in which gender discourse intertwines with and permeates" our thinking about war. "The impact of gender discourse…is that some things get left out."
"What is it that cannot be spoken?" Cohn asks. "First, any words that express an emotional awareness of the desperate human reality behind the sanitized abstractions of death and destruction." When we talk about war, "Weapons' effects may be spoken of only in the most clinical and abstract terms, leaving no room to imagine a seven-year-old boy with his flesh melting away from his bones or a toddler with her skin hanging down in strips…. Psychological effects—on the soldiers fighting the war or on the citizens injured, or fearing for their own safety…all of these are not to be talked about…. What gets left out, then, is the emotional, the concrete, the particular, the human bodies and their vulnerability, human lives and their subjectivity—all of which are marked as feminine in the binary dichotomies of gender discourse" ("Wars, Wimps, and Women: Talking Gender and Thinking War").
Soldiers, regardless of their sex, more than any other group, have it ingrained in them to take their suffering silently, "like a man." The same is expected of their families.
"Be strong. Don't complain. Never worry or distract your warrior when he's on deployment. Defend the home. Liz [Snell] doesn't remember anyone telling her how a good military spouse behaves. It was just understood," goes the story in CNN's "The Uncounted," a powerful, in-depth look at the issue of suicides among military family members. It's worth reading every word.
We are currently preparing for a withdrawal from Afghanistan that may or may not materialize, and are somehow always on the lookout for more conflicts to get involved in to keep our military-industrial complex going. But there is no more urgent conflict for our military to take on than the one of its own making: reinforcing an inadequate and overwhelmed system for providing desperately needed services for our servicemen and women and their families.

Baked Rhubarb Cheesecake Recipe
Nothing new under the sun :) I took last year's favourite rhubarb cheesecake recipe, tweaked it a little, and ended up with yet another definite favourite. An exceptionally good-looking favourite as well :) The rhubarb is from a farm near Raplamaa (a county in Estonia), and the stalks were especially and beautifully pink this time - both inside and outside. Also, I never peel young rhubarb stalks. Hence the impressive colour scheme of the cake.
Baked Rhubarb Cheesecake
Serves 8
100 g unsalted butter, softened
85 g caster sugar (1 dl/100 ml)
1 large egg
180 g plain flour (3 dl/300 ml)
0.5 tsp ground cardamom
0.5 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
Cream cheese topping:
400 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
200 g sour cream or soft curd cheese
125 g caster sugar (1,5 dl/150 ml)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
300 g young pink rhubarb stalks
a tablespoonful of demerara sugar
For the base, cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, thoroughly beating each time. Add the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Press the mixture onto the base and sides of a 26 cm springform tin lined with parchment paper. Place into the fridge to wait while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
For the cheesecake topping, mix all ingredients thoroughly (you may use a whisk for a fluffier result).
To assemble the cake, pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake base. Scatter or lay the rhubarb on top, sprinkle with demerara sugar.
Bake in a preheated 200 C oven for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is set and the cake base cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Wonderful recipe! I took your last year's recipe (referred at the beginning of your post) and adjusted the topping per this recipe (i.e. some of cream cheese replaced with sour cream) - turned out really well, everyone loved it, thank you!

Caution: The documentation you are viewing is
for an older version of Zend Framework.
You can find the documentation of the current version at:
Introduction - Getting Started Zend_View Placeholders
In the previous chapter, we looked at primarily the Two Step View pattern, which allows you to embed individual application views within a sitewide layout. At the end of that chapter, however, we discussed some limitations:
How do you alter the page title?
How would you inject conditional scripts or stylesheets into the sitewide layout?
How would you create and render an optional sidebar? What if there was some content that was unconditional, and other content that was conditional for the sidebar?
These questions are addressed in the » Composite View design pattern. One approach to that pattern is to provide "hints" or content to the sitewide layout. In Zend Framework, this is achieved through specialized view helpers called "placeholders." Placeholders allow you to aggregate content, and then render that aggregate content elsewhere.

hello friends! This is my 99th post to this blog... crazy right?
How about some rainbow sprinkle cake pops to celebrate? [I love rainbow sprinkles!]
How about some rainbow sprinkle cake pops to celebrate? [I love rainbow sprinkles!]
I have another announcement to share today that is somewhat bittersweet:
I will no longer be posting to this blog.
I will no longer be posting to this blog.
The reason why? Husband and I have decided to leave our current jobs, pack up our lives, and head out for an adventure. This summer we will be moving to Hsinchu City, Taiwan! Husband signed a 2 year teaching contact with a high school over there, and in a few weeks we will be moving back to Michigan from the east coast to spend time with our families before we go.
I WILL, however, still be blogging. I hope that you'll wander over to inkandadventure.blogspot.com and join up to follow our adventures in Taiwan. There will be plenty of photos, stories about life and travel, and - of course - experiments in the kitchen. I'm excited for the challenge of learning how to cook in our new home using the local ingredients [and without a traditional oven!]
It has truly been a pleasure blogging for you all these past few years. Thank you for all your support, emails, and lovely comments. I hope you will continue to enjoy the recipes I have posted here [I'll leave them up indefinitely] and will try your hand at the new ones I'll be posting over there.
until then,
use real butter + bake it with love

We like it Spicy!
Mixing up some Indian cocktails for Mixology Monday.
Every month a group of adventurous spirits gathers for an event called Mixology Monday where each participant offers up a blog post featuring a cocktail recipe that fits within the monthly theme. This month's theme is Spice and it is hosted by Craig at Tiki Drinks and Indigo Firmaments. His basic guidelines were as follows:
Spice should give you plenty of room to play – from the winter warmers of egg nog, wassail and mulled products to the strange and interesting infusions of pepper, ceubub, grains of paradise, nutmeg — what have you! I would like to stretch the traditional meanings of spice (as the bark, seed, nut or flowering part of a plant used for seasoning) to basically anything used for flavoring that isn't an herb. Salt? Go for it. Paprika? I'd love to see you try. I hear that cardamom is hot right now.
It turns out that this couldn't really be better timed for me as I have been obsessed with spices in cocktails recently. About a month ago some friends and I planned to go see Slumdog Millionaire, the new Danny Boyle film about an Indian kid who ends up on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and spends the film reflecting on his past in the slums of Mumbai. We were all getting together before the film and I was asked to come up with some Indian themed cocktails. Well, after a bit of research, it turned out there weren't really many non-lassi based drinks out there that were Indian themed. This surprised me considering how flavorful indian food is. Scott Beattie had a few recipes that were inspiring in their use of coconut milk and cilantro and pickled hearts of palm but they were all really more southeast asian than Indian, and I wanted something with cumin, and coriander and turmeric.
We only had a short notice to prepare for the party so I took the quick and easy route and made some syrups that would allow me to Indian-up nearly anything with some strong flavors. I made a coriander syrup and a cumin syrup. The cumin syrup turned out amazing and outrageously flavorful and only a small amount was needed to give any drink a hint of the spice route. The coriander syrup was much more subtle but intriguing to mix with as it added a flavor that was at once familiar but mysterious.
The following week though, it was like the Indian-cocktail rosetta stone was recovered. That was when Jonny Raglin introduced his Spice Route cocktail menu at the new southern indian restaurant Dosa in San Francisco. It was like a trip though a new world of cocktail flavors, darjeeling tea cordial, mango gastrique, curry nectar, hell-flower tincture, yogurt. It sounded amazing, and after a visit, I was not disappointed. The next day I took a trip to Berkley bowl, one of the greatest produce markets i have ever been to, and picked up some kaffir lime leaves, curry leaves, celery root, cilantro, sweet limes and fresh tumeric and began experimenting.
Out of that came two drinks that worked pretty well, the first was based loosely on a gimlet recipe using pisco and the coriander syrup. It is called the Dhaniya Nimbu. Dihaniya is Hindi for coriander and nimbu is Hindi for lime. The second drink was inspired very much by the drinks at Dosa, and is called the Cumin Get It, which is admittedly a pretty lame name but I couldn't avoid such a golden opportunity for a pun.
- 1.5 oz Pisco
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz coriander nectar
- 1 sprig cilantro
shake all ingredients except cilantro and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with cilantro sprig.
- 1 tbsp Coriander seeds
- 1 cup water
- .5 cup sugar
Heat coriander seeds in a hot skillet for a minute or so to release the aromatics. Add the seeds to a sauce pan and crush them with a muddler. Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil. simmer for 5 minutes and add the sugar stirring until it is dissolved. Remove from heat, let cool and strain out the coriander seeds from the mixture, bottle and refrigerate. Mixture should keep for about a week.
- 1.5 oz Gin
- .75 oz Light coconut milk
- .75 oz Lime juice
- .75 oz Cumin syrup
- 2 kaffir lime leaves
Place all ingredients except for one of the kaffir lime leaves in a shaker and shake very well as you would a drink with egg white. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with remaining kaffir lime leaf.
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Heat cumin seeds in a hot skillet for a minute or so to release the aromatics. Add the seeds to a sauce pan and add the water and bring the mixture to a boil. simmer for 5 minutes and add the sugar stirring until it is dissolved. Remove from heat, let cool and strain out the cumin seeds from the mixture, bottle and refrigerate. Mixture should keep for about a week.

Archbishop Chaput: Catholics Should Live Their Faith 'All In'
Archbishop Chaput encourages Catholics to reconfigure their lives to understanding and acting on the New Evangelization.
MALLORCA, Spain — Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia has called on Catholics to be "active witnesses" of their faith, taking inspiration from the 17th-century missionary Blessed Junipero Serra.
Rejecting the idea that the Christian faith is "a useful moral code" or "an exercise in nostalgia," he stressed that the Christian faith is "a restlessness, a consuming fire in the heart to experience the love of Jesus Christ and then share it with others — or it's nothing at all."
"Young or old, we need to live our faith as Junipero Serra did — all in, 100%, holding nothing back, with charity, endurance, passion and hope," Archbishop Chaput said. "That kind of faith changes lives and remakes the world."
The words "New Evangelization" are "overused and underthought," he said, warning against speaking of the "New Evangelization" in an empty way, "as if saying the slogan or talking about it actually makes mission work happen."
"Unless we reconfigure our lives to understanding and acting on it, the 'New Evangelization' is just another pious intention — well meaning, but ultimately infertile," he warned.
The archbishop spoke June 22 at the Serra International Convention on the Spanish island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean. The convention marked the 300th anniversary of the birth of Blessed Junipero Serra, an influential Franciscan priest who founded many Christian missions in what is now California.
Serra International is a global lay apostolate that promotes and supports vocations to the Catholic priesthood and religious life.
Archbishop Chaput said Junipero Serra was "an extraordinary man" who lived at a "pivotal moment" in the history of the Catholic Church, when Catholic and Protestant powers competed for territory around the world as the threat of Muslim invasion of Europe waned.
Father Serra left his life as a university professor in Mallorca at the age of 36 to serve in the New World. The priest had a "supple, inquisitive, brilliant mind," "tremendous personal energy" and "remarkable organizational skills," the archbishop said.
Working to bring the Christian faith to the indigenous population of Mexico, Father Serra walked thousands of miles during his lifetime, despite a wounded leg that never healed. He built a network of missions and confronted military and political leaders who wanted to exploit American Indians.
"He could be a demanding father to his native converts, but he was fierce in defending their dignity from the colonial authorities," Archbishop Chaput observed.
The archbishop praised Father Serra's foresight, endurance, political skill and leadership in a situation with "a very limited mix of people and resources under brutally difficult conditions."
He stressed the need for all Catholics to spread the faith, saying that "Jesus commands it. We can't call ourselves Christians and not be missionaries. We need to be active witnesses of our faith."
Evangelization must begin with "our own repentance and conversion," Archbishop Chaput said.
"As individuals, we control very little in life; but we do control what we do with our hearts. We can at least make ourselves available to God as his agents. Personal conversion is the essential first step. It immediately affects the people around us," he explained.
Evangelization must also take into account the nature of contemporary society, he added.
Modern American society produces "a kind of radical self-focus and practical atheism" because it renders God "irrelevant to people's needs and urgencies of the moment," he said. Real individuality, self-mastery and the communities that shape individuals "can't compete with the noise and flash of consumer society."
Any New Evangelization must begin with the "sober knowledge" that many once-Christian lands and many self-described Christians are "in fact pagan," the archbishop said.
In addition, true evangelization is self-renewing, he said, explaining that at the core of "every fresh work of evangelization is this kind of ardor; a passionate faith that can only come from seeking out and giving ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ, no matter what the cost."
"The irony, the glory and the joy of faith in Jesus Christ is that the more we give it away to others, the stronger it grows and the more we have for ourselves to feed our own hearts," Archbishop Chaput said.
"Junipero Serra heard the Gospel and believed and acted on it. Today, here, beginning now, God calls us to the privilege of doing the same."

Activision Ships $1 Billion Worth of Call of Duty: Ghosts
After the insane success of the previous Call of Duty titles and Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5, the mark of strong sales is measured in billions. Though Call of Duty: Ghosts hasn't quite hit the billion-dollar mark just yet, Activision has found a way to make it sound like the first days of availability have been more impressive than they really were.
Call of Duty: Ghosts has only be available for a little over a day, but Activision wants you to know there has been $1 billion worth of copies sold... to retail. While there are hundreds of hundreds of thousands of copies of Ghosts at stores, the sales-to-date of the anticipated sequel haven't yet matched up with the last two entries in the blockbuster franchise. However, as not to be left out of the billionaire boys club, Activision felt the need to disclose how many copies had been sold to its retail partners to make it seem like everything hunky-dory in Call of Duty land. Perhaps that has something to do with a quarterly earnings call happening later today.
Still, Call of Duty is going to sell well, but we likely won't know just how well until the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions arrive. Many players will likely double-dip, while more than a few are probably waiting so they won't have to buy the same game twice. Activision and Gamestop claim Call of Duty: Ghosts is the most pre-ordered next generation title, so while it may not have hit the magic seven-figure number just yet, there's still a chance it could before the end of November. That's not quite on pace with previous iterations, but no other Call of Duty in the modern era had to deal with a new console launch so close to release.

Gone Girl Soundtrack
From nine inch nails wiki
Gone Girl Soundtrack (aka Gone Girl - Soundtrack From The Motion Picture) was scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for David Fincher's film Gone Girl, which is adapted from the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn. This is the third of three soundtracks that Reznor and Ross have worked on for Fincher, along with The Social Network Soundtrack and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack.
On December 2nd, 2019, it was confirmed by John Crawford on Echoing The Sound forum that its release number is Null 03, in keeping with The Null Corporation's numbering system.
12" Vinyl
A1 "What Have We Done To Each Other?" - 2:30
B1 "Clue Two" - 5:10
C1 "Empty Places (Reprise)" - 2:20
D1 "Still Gone" - 2:47
The album was released digitally on September 30, 2014. The CD was released on January 6, 2015 and the vinyl was released on January 20, 2015. The CD and vinyl releases were delayed from their original 2014 release dates. The album was made available to preorder on September 23 from nin.com, accompanied by a streaming sampler of tracks from the soundtrack. The full score was made available for streaming via NPR on September 25, 2014.
Trent Reznor's Statement

Promotion & Samplers
On April 17, 2014, a website was set up to promote the film, http://www.findamazingamy.com/. The website featured as-yet unnamed background music, ostensibly by Reznor and Ross. In July 2014, the website gonegirlmovie.com was updated to also have background music, very similar to the first audio but with added feedback. The track was titled "Echoes". Both tracks are variations of "What Have We Done To Each Other?".
A trailer was released on July 7, 2014, which featured both the previously heard site music and new music.
On September 20, 2014, GoneGirl.com was updated with new music titled "Mixdown", a megamix of tracks from the score, followed by nin.com updating to add a splash page introducing the score, with the album artwork and the track "The Way He Looks At Me" streaming in the background.
Streaming Sampler
As with previous scores by Reznor and Ross, a sampler was made available. Unlike previous ones, this wasn't a download but made available as a stream via music hosting site Soundcloud.

I have a feeling Leipsic will win the district but it will most likely be them and McComb in the district final.
Posted 20 October 2012 - 06:28 PM
Surprised Kalida beat Crestview. I would have to agree with above-- McComb and Leipsic would be the favorites in this district. Who is the 4th team?
Posted 20 October 2012 - 06:36 PM
Just checked OHSAA website for scores---looks like the sectional finals have not all been played yet--however I will say Leipsic and McComb to be the favorites with Crestview a possibility to come out of this district---but none of them have made it yet.
Posted 20 October 2012 - 10:18 PM
McComb vs. Columbus Grove at 6
Crestview vs Leipsie at 7:30

Japanese import
Total Eclipse was Bobby Hutcherson's first recording session with tenor saxophonist Harold Land, who became one of his major collaborators (and a quintet co-leader) during the late '60s. Land's rounded, echoing tone is a nice contrast for the coolly cerebral post-bop that fills Total Eclipse.
Hutcherson contributes four of the five compositions (the other, "Matrix," is by pianist Chick Corea), and he's in a mood to intellectually challenge himself and the rest of the quintet, which also includes bassist Reggie Johnson and longtime drummer Joe Chambers. The results are full of the sort of skillful musicianship one would naturally expect of Hutcherson's '60s-era Blue Notes.
Land's solo lines are fluid and lengthy, assimilating some of Coltrane's innovations while remaining accessibly soulful. Though they're all pretty strong, "Pompeian" is the most ambitious piece; it opens with a happy-go-lucky, waltz-time flute melody, and after a bit of foreboding, Hutcherson expands upon it with a tinkling bell solo. Toward the end of the piece, the whole group builds to a chaotic eruption, with Hutcherson switching to marimba (as he often did when he wanted a darker tone and high-tempo articulation); the pretty flute theme is then repeated as the dust settles and the piece ends.
Overall, though, the album foreshadows Hutcherson's move away from his explicit avant-garde leanings and into a still-advanced but more structured modernist framework. For some reason, Total Eclipse was the only post-bop-styled album Hutcherson and Land recorded together that was released at the time; though they're all high-quality, this remains perhaps the best of the lot.

Hello everyone,
I have always loved handmade and dabbled with paints from as far back as my memory goes - art journaling, oil pastels, glass painting, tile painting, pottery, embroidery and the list goes on. Then, there was a gap of almost 7 years when I didn't do anything. My art journey made a comeback in the form of scrapbooking a little over a year ago when I made a mini album with pictures of my baby boy. I had no idea back then that I would get hooked onto scrapbooking, let alone start a blog and meet so many talented scrappers like you all.
I love using different mediums in my layouts for texture – lace, chipboard, texture paste and almost all my layouts have shades of blue and pink. Scrapbooking / art journaling helps me relax and de-stress after running around 2 little kids all day long. Yes, you guessed right most of my paint play happens at night when the kids are asleep.
For my layout, I've picked colours from the painting and also distressing (torn tissue to create the background, distressed paper and lace) The lace is from Alacraft - bought from the gift voucher I won with ARTastic's Feb '14 challenge.
And here are two more examples of my work ...
I never imagined there was such a friendly and welcoming community of crafters online and am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to share something about myself and my work on ARTastic.
I hope you take the time to visit me at www.thecolourpress.blogspot.com
Thank you so much for guesting with us on ARTastic this month Kripa. It's been wonderful seeing your beautiful work.
You still have time until the end of the month to upload your own take on this challenge. We'd love to see what you can do with our inspiration artwork this month.

Ok, not sure how else to characterize this. But I have caught myself doing some amazingly absent-minded things lately and it has me concerned I've suffered some kind of an Old Man Mind Injury.
- When I'm bored and surfing the internet, I have noticed that there are times when I type in the website address of the website I'm already on. Yep, I head right back to the same site I've been on.
- And when I get into the car in the morning, I have noticed that there are times when I start changing the radio stations…before I've turned the radio on.
Either I've suffered an Old Man Mind Injury or the prospect of no football is overwhelming my simple brain.

Pork and Marinade
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
Cumin-Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt
Curry Sauce and Assembly
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/4 cup green Thai curry paste
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 1 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (packed) light brown sugar
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Recipe Preparation
Pork and Marinade
Combine soy sauce, orange juice, maple syrup, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork and seal bag. Chill, turning occasionally, at least 8 hours or up to 1 day.
Cumin-Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and toast, shaking pan often, until seeds are brown, about 4 minutes. Add cumin seeds, then gradually add sugar, then lime juice, tossing constantly to coat seeds with melted sugar and juice. Transfer pumpkin seed mixture to a foil-lined baking sheet; spread out and let cool. Season with salt.
Curry Sauce and Assembly
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add curry paste and lime zest and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add coconut milk and bring just to a boil, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced by half, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Transfer coconut milk mixture to a blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water and blend until smooth. With motor running, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons oil and blend until creamy. Season curry sauce with salt and pepper, return to pan, and cover to keep warm.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade; pat dry. Grill pork, turning often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140°, 15-20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
Slice pork and serve with curry sauce and cumin-spiced pumpkin seeds.
DO AHEAD:Cumin-spiced pumpkin seeds and curry sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Store pumpkin seeds airtight at room temperature. Cover and chill curry sauce.

Hey .Net Devs,
Is there any chance I could get you to adjust the session lengths to at least a few hours? It's not that I have a problem logging in every time I come to the site, it's just a nuisance.
The value in the php.ini is session.gc_maxlifetime value is in the form of seconds. So 10800 would be 3 hours.

Discussion in 'Fan Art' started by Geoff Thorne, May 28, 2009.
Wow, these are fabulous. I haven't read any of the Titan stories but you absolutely make me want to.
And people wonder why Dr. Rhee seems to think human male coughing consists of a high-pitched scream...
Please forgive my phasing into art director mode, but...: his tail seems to be a little too long, and maby a little too wavy. The tail serves as a counterbalance, and would be roughly the same length as the head+body above/in front of the hip joint. And while not board-rigid, it'd also be a little too stiff to get that slight slithery action yo have it doing (That's provided I remember text descriptions of how Rhee moves correctly, plus what I remember from assorted "talking to the experts" and "animating the dinosaurs" shorts from the Jurassic Park movies, King Kong, etc. I've tried to picture how Rhee moves from an animator's prespective. Your milage may vary.)
Also, always important with non-human characters: work out how they wear their clothing: how they get into it, how it moves, etc. Not sucha big deal here, but nevertheless worth considering.
Looking forward to a de-Disneyfied Hulian.
Again, these are sketches, not finished art.
Great work on these. I really like Ree & Riker. Nice adding the Reed Richards Gray hair.
Dr. T!
Really nice work. The first one is Ylira Modan, right?
I'd love to see your depiction of Cethente.
Why de-Disneyfie him? It's supposed to be an obvious reference.
Just give Stitch two additional arms, put him in a Starfleet Suit, and you'll be fine.
After some pin-ups/wallpapers, I'll tackle the secondaries. Huilan, Torvig, Hsuuri, Ogawa, etc.
It's actually kind of meditative. each one of these things takes about ten or fifteen minutes. i do them on breaks from work.
As I wrote, before, I am not familiar with the characters - but you have a very expressive style. Nice work!
Nice art. Thank you for sharing. I'm another one who's not that familiar with the cast in this series, but with all these aliens, it looks like it's worth picking up.
Excellent work. Riker has the beard back?
Can I request some shots of the crew on the bridge of the Titan? Has anyone drawn the Titan's bridge yet?
I've seen pictures of the design of the Titan, which I like. Would love to see you tackle it as well, if you can do ships.
Again, great work!
This is my first visit here. I really like your artwork. Since I am not familiar with the characters, I won't try to critique you. As others have said, you make me want to find the books they are based upon.
This is a wallpaper image.
If you want it, go HERE.
If only CBS/Paromount would make that a reality......
Is that a new Titan design? It doesn't seem to match the "official" titan from the novel covers.
I created my vision of the Titan's Bridge a while back.
This is nothing official.
here is link to it. Feel free to toon it up if you like.
Federation Version
Mirror Universe Version.
It's a drawing of Sean's design, massively simplified.
Fellas (or ladies).
This is not a classroom situation or a job for which I've been contracted. I felt like doodling some pie in-the-sky spinning about the possibility of a TITAN animated series. That's it.
There's no need to do deep crits here because:
1) I will ignore them. I'm simply not taking the "work" seriously enough here to warrant crits and corrections. If the nacelles are off axis or too short for the body or the hull is too white or something, I don't actually care. Because....
2) It's just for FUN. FUN.
3) If it stops being fun I will stop doing it.
If you feel something is off or not exactly as you pictured it in your mind you are very much invited to post your own version in this thread. See point #2.
The more, the merrier.
It's funny because I remember using your bridge design as a mental model when writing SoD. Some people were asking why Ailli had a co-pilot or co-navigator and I was like "There are two chairs and two consoles. Sean won the contest so there must be two stations there."
As you can see from the wallpaper, I'm nowhere near as good at machines as figures and will probably be too lazy to devote the necessary time to a serious bridge shot.
But, who knows?
This is actually a lot of fun for me so I might get brave.
Well for what it is worth, you have a great start here.
Feel free to tap my brain if you want any input.
Its like the love affair of a Galaxy Class, Voyager, and Soverigen. I persoanly think its too busy and confused.

New 'Bachelorette' Contestant Doug Clerget Can Have Our Roses Any Day – Hunk of the Day
The brand new cast of hunky stud muffins for 'The Bachelorette' has finally been unearthed, and, ladies, these guys are smokin'! But we've got our eyes on that sex on a stick real estate agent Doug Clerget. He's got everything we're looking for, but don't worry about losing him to Emily what's her face? Even if he wins, we all know these on-screen romances never last.
Clerget comes to us from Tacoma, Washington where he's the vice president of the real estate company Kidder Matthews and co-founder of the charity organization Dollar Per Month (we know, right?). If that wasn't dreamy enough, the 33-year-old has a ripped body that'd give The Situation a run for his reality show money. And (yes, there's more), he's a loving father to 11-year-old Austin.
Don't try to stalk his Facebook page, though, because it's already been taken down. But have no fear! Before it was, we scrambled together some (mostly shirtless) pics for you to enjoy. Check them out below.

Hello Everyone
I have a challenge for myself personally as well as you. My challenge to myself is to positively influence enough people from all over to come here and record all their acts of courtesy, kindness, and compassion that they have done for others. These acts can simply be saying hello to a stranger, helping someone in need, letting someone butt in front of you in line at the store or bank, help seniors across the street, help out with someone else's choirs, and things along that line. My challenge is to collect 10,000 acts of courtesy, kindness, and compassion and then keep going from there..
I feel that recording what you do will make you conscious about wanting to do good things for others. You will eventually without thought perform random acts of courtesy and kindness. If more people were to take the time to be nicer to everyone else and help each other, the world would be a better place.
Here's a nice well done video of what random acts of courtesy and kindness really are.
Please support my cause by writing down your acts of kindness and at the end of each week or on a daily basis. Write a comment below listing what you did and the dates you did them. I will keep a running total of all the acts and post them weekly. I myself will be doing many acts of kindness on a daily basis and will be posting them here too.
To post an act of kindness, scroll to the bottom of this page and fill in the comment box below. Your name, email address(which won't show) and the date and what you did.
Thanks in advance for all your support in making this world a better place one act of kindness at a time 🙂

I used to have this stamp set, but sold it and have since regretted it.
He is such a sweet bear!!
Thankfully one of the gals who regularly attends my classes still had
Thanks Nancy!!
My original intention was to make this Sympathy Card
based on a card I saw on Split Coast Stampers by Kelston.
I found a need (sadly) to have something like this on hand for
the loss of a child, and on some of the insides I have it intended
as a sympathy to send to a child when a grandparent or someone close
passes away. I had some button brads on hand and thought they fit
perfectly with the Button Bear Stamp Set.
As I was organizing my files I ran across this idea from Cindy on Split Coast
so I went to work on MDS to create the words for the front of the card.
I used some retired Designer Paper called Pawsitively Prints l and ll
Since Nancy was so kind to let me borrow her stamp set it was
only appropriate that I make her a 3x3 Thank You Note...
He turned out so cute that I made some more to have on hand...
OK, so I get a little carried away, but I had a LOT of that Designer Paper left over.
And it was perfect for all the cute envelopes.
I'm sure they will end up in a cute gift box at some point for the craft sales
My Pen Pal gave me picture for the wall that said something
about the value of an old friend (which we are to one another)
Perhaps this applies to old stamps too!!
Thanks For Stopping By!
Have a Blessed Day!!

Chris Candido Shoot Interview DVD
Amazing, truthful, entertaining is what we can say about our 4 hour shoot interview with "No Gimmicks Needed" Chris Candido that was conducted 1/6/05.This interview shows the Rise and Fall of Chris Candido with nothing held back. We left no rock unturned in this shoot interview that talks about drugs, sex, and of course pro-wrestling.
Beforeconducting this interview we let Chris know that we were going to ask him everything from the rumors of wrestlers sleeping with Tammy (HBK and Davey Boy Smith), his drug use with Tammy that has damaged their careers and all of the most controversial stories that go with it. NOBODY has ever been open as Chris was with his drug use.
The interview starts off taking a look back into the early life of Chris as a child. We discuss how he started to watch wrestling as a kid through his grandfather. You will hear how he would learn how to wrestle by wrestling him in their home. Chris talks about the first time he ever met Balls Mahooney. We then discuss how Chris got started on his own with local indy promoters around the northeast. You will hear all about the training that he went through and what local promoters helped him. We talk about how he would set up rings back in the 80's for NWA and what wrestlers helped him learn his trade.
After we discuss how he got hooked up with Larry Sharpe, Dennis Coraluzzo and meeting Tammy for the first time. We then talk about his first trip down to the Memphis territory and how he got to work with Tom Prichard, Bill Dundee and alot of the other top talent that was there at the time. Chris talks about tagging and meeting Sabu for the first time and there are a million road stories that are hilarious from this time period. You will hear how Sabu almost quit after he got his first pay check and why Candido had to walk around town with a bag over leatherface's head at all time. He talks about working with Eric Embry and all of the stuff he learned with him during his first match down there. We talk about his long car rides from all of the towns and what he learned on those rides. There are a ton of great stories that Chris tells from this time period as well.
Chris than talks about how he got back into the indy scene around the NJ area when he came back until he met Eddie Gilbert and Jim Cornette. We talk about how he went down to SMW wrestling and what he learned from that territory. We talk all about his classic feuds with down there with Bobby Blaze, Tracey Smothers, Rock N' Roll Express and many more. We talk about how Tammy first broke into wrestling as a valet and some of the stuff they went through as a couple.
Chris talks about how he got a call from the WWE to get into the company while working for Smokey Mountain Wrestling. You will hear why he hated it there from day one. This is where the interview starts to get very interesting as we talk about Tammy and his relationship. Chris brought up how he did not like his first gimmick in WWF and how it evolved over time. He talks about his tag partners from Louie Spicolli to Tom Prichard. Chris discusses how WWF really wanted Tammy even if he was there or not. He then talked about other problems he had in the WWF with Shawn Michaels and how HBK said he slept with Tammy. We ask him point out if he thinks she slept with any of the guys behind his back. We asked Chris all about the stories about Tammy and Bulldog and many more. Chris addresses all of these rumors. There is so much said that I do not want to ruin it here so you have to get this interview.
We talk also about how he went over to FMW with Sabu. He talks about how Sabu got all of his scars and what he saw Sabu do to himself to get them. It is a crazy story and you must hear it. We talk about his tour of ALL Japan and how Stan Hanson almost killed him for a rib. What happened after his match with Jushin Liger?
There is so much WWF stories and what he went through with the office while he was there. How he got along with the

Women's small businesses are important contributors to economies, particularly in the informal sector. At the same time, institutional and systemic barriers, and legal gender inequalities, as well as socio-cultural norms and practices, often stymie the potential of women entrepreneurship.
These factors may cause constraints in such areas as women's access to finance, time availability due to multiple roles, physical mobility, and access to education, skills and training. ICTs can help to overcome some of them, and there are also business opportunities in the ICT sector itself.
But assessing the status of ICTs and women's entrepreneurship is often difficult due to a lack of data as well as rapid changes in the ICT landscape.
Through a partnership between UNCTAD and the International Labour Organization (ILO), and with financial support from the Government of Sweden, this publication systematically integrates - for the first time - the ICT dimension in a framework for assessing women's entrepreneurship development.
It provides a foundation for governments and development practitioners to understand the key factors, challenges and dynamics involved in empowering women entrepreneurs through ICTs, as well as recommendations for future action.
"There is a need for more effective policies and programmes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries so that they can seize the emerging opportunities made possible by ICTs. There is also the need for greater skills and capacity development for women entrepreneurs", said Anne Miroux, Director of the Division on Technology and Logistics of UNCTAD, on the occasion of the launch of the new study.

Shakira Brings the Beat in Her 'La La La (Brazil 2014)' Video
Shakira is as sultry as ever in her new video for 'La La La (Brazil 2014).'
The track, which is featured on her new self-titled album, is a percussion-driven number. The video shows just how big of a part the drums play, as Shakira seductively dances in front of them. (And she even strikes a drum herself!)
'La La La (Brazil 2014)' is a World Cup Anthem, so it makes sense that the singer would recruit an extra-special soccer player: partner Gerard Pique! Keeping in theme with the sport, she incorporates loyal fans decorated to support their favorite teams, flags of the countries competing in the cup and even some intense soccer kicks! It's definitely festive and totally has us pumped for the sport's championship games!
Our favorite part, however, is when Shakira shows off her own fancy footwork. Who knew the singer could juggle a soccer ball that deftly? We're so impressed!
Check out Shakira's rhythm-heavy video for 'La La La (Brazil 2014)' above.

The famous Bentley Blowers represent one of the most iconic vehicles from the early days of motoring. Yet the cars' ability to effortlessly cover hundreds of miles will be tested again on the 2012 Mille Miglia. For this legendary feat of endurance, two 41/2-liter Bentley Blowers will take on the classic 1000-mile race.
Despite being more than 80 years old, the Bentley Blowers are showing no signs of slowing down. The 4.25-liter Supercharged 'Birkin Blower' has successfully completed the Mille Miglia in both 2005 and 2011.
The Birkin's companion car is one of 50 Blowers built for road use and still appears at Bentley events around the world. It started life in 1930 as one of the company's first showroom demonstrators, and is still performing its share of 'test drives' eight decades later.
A 1954 company-owned R-Type Continental also made the journey from England to Italy. Widely regarded as one of Bentley's most elegant cars, the distinctive R-Type was also the world's fastest four-seat luxury sedan back in 1952 with a top speed of 115mph - this marking its 60th Anniversary.
The classic models will be accompanied across Italy by a 6.0-liter W12 Continental GT coupe and the recently launched 4.0-liter V8 GTC convertible.

State Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, got his eyewitness ID bill through the Senate this morning by a vote of 30-0. The bill would change the way eyewitness identification policies are used by law enforcement policies.
Ellis noted that mistaken identification is the leading cause of wrongful convictions in Texas and the U.S., and that Texas has had more DNA exonerations than any other state.
Approximately 75 percent of the 266 DNA exonerations across the country, according to the national Innocence Project, have been due to eyewitness misidentification. The figure is 85 percent of the 44 DNA wrongful convictions in Texas.
Ellis' bill would require police departments to adopt written eyewitness identification policies based on best practices and would require the Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas at Sam Houston State University to develop a policy and training materials for local law enforcement agencies. Relying on a 2008 Justice Project study, the senator noted that only 12 percent of Texas police departments had guidelines for conducting lineups.
Ellis filed a similar bill last session that also passed the Senate but died in the House.

I'd like to start off with a quote from William Donahue.
"We have about 47,000 priests in this country and most of them are damn good men, but some of them are rotten."
What is it about men over forty who go through mid-life crisis?
Is it the monotonous life that drives them to seek something new and exciting?
Are they really bored with their wives or are they just plain selfish?
What occurred over the past couple of days ago has stunned me. At first I did not know this man at all. After a couple of sips of Jack Daniel with my friends, he explained exactly who he was and how much power he has over the up coming generation. At first I began to like him, well let me rephrase that, I began to like the way he thinks. I'm attracted to men who have, for lack of a better phrase, a mature mentality. So there was, intrigued by this old man [and I mean old- around 48] drawn in by his knowledge, power, insights about life, his life style and charisma. But than it dawned on me, I said to myself, Kgaugelo wait a minute this man is old enough to be your grandfather snap out of it! So I did and I realised that he was just some dude who thinks he'll get lucky. To top it off he tried to speak slang, now and again throwing in swear words like "s%@t and f&$k" so as to identify and fit in with the urban lingo and I was not impressed. As he was going on, I realised that shame all he wants is to be young again and it disgusted me.
And this experience reminded him what it feels like to be below thirty. To chill and just be. No worries about work, family, responsibility and That's what we gave him. That space to be new again, he dropped his big title and BEE tie and chilled with the three of us.However, I think when life has gone passed don't leave behind your responsibilities. I later found out that he was married-feel very sorry for the wife because I do think he does this everywhere he goes [macks young girls hoping to score] ag sies man, ba bodile [translation: they are rotten]! Don't they ever think of repercussions? Ag shame he had knocked on the wrong tree this time around. I'm not one of those girls BEE dudes can pick up… I'm going to get to the top the right way and I don't care how long it takes as long as my intergrity is intact.
The funniest thing is that most men go through this. I kept on wondering, "dude don't you have a wife whom you respect and love?" Where have the morals and values gone to? BEE dudes, now that they have made it they forget who stood by them as they struggled, they live for the moment forgetting that there are diseases out there, most importantly they forget that the money and fame can disappear in a matter of seconds and no one will be there for them. This man reminds me of my dad and step-dad but those are stories for my next blog. Stay tune…

All white squirrel spotted again
Have you ever seen the all white squirrel in Ames?
Charlie Webster just uploaded a new photo of the white squirrel Tuesday on the KCCI u local page.
"I am a Iowa State University student and I saw this white squirrel. I took this picture on my phone and then saw the story of it on KCCI's website," wrote Webster on u local.
Ames resident Frank McGreevy sent KCCI a photo of the squirrel last month.
The animal has a mostly white body with brown tail and face markings.
While most people think of squirrels as gray or brown, animal experts said white colored or even albino squirrels have been spotted across the U.S. and Canada, including in Illinois, Missouri, Florida and Tennessee.
Have you spotted a white squirrel? Tell us your story in the comment box below or on the KCCI Facebook page.
If you get a great picture what you'd like to share with KCCI, upload it to our u local page or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
